S-Jax pretty much has everything and is probably the most all-round RB in the league. He can round over people, he can run round them, he can pass block, he is good out of the backfield.

Jackson and Gerhart have similar size but Jackson is a mid 4.4 guy who plays just as fast. Gerhart is maybe a 4.5 guy who will be limited at the next level due to his lack of top end speed. I also think Jackson is way more agile in his cuts than Gerhart

Differant kind of backs, Jackson is more the Eric Dickerson type with top end speed and Gerhart is a guy that can move the pile and get to the next level of the defense quicker than most people realize.

Thing is the Rams if they were to trade Jackson for a big package and draft Gerhart in the early second arent going to lose any more games than they are losing now and they might actually win more.

Michael Turner is a good comparison to Gerhart. Steven Jackson isn't that far off. Gerhart's top end speed is underrated, he ran step for step with Mays for 30 yards, but Mays had an angle on him and caught up. He has burned quite a few dbs in college. Like in the OSU game in 08 he ran up the middle into two defenders, then bounced it to the outside and outran a db for 50 or 60 yard td

Steven Jackson ran a 4.45 that was at a pro day, not electronically timed. Toby Gerhart has been timed at 4.48 and recently 4.43, but it wasn't electronically timed either.
